Well, I couldn´t reach the pedals, but I could hold on to the wheel

I was driving in the Indy in my Daddy´s Oldsmobile

And I took the checkered flag and never took the car out of park

Maybe I was sitting still, but I was driving in my heart

And then one day this young man´s dreams came true

Dad threw the keys to me and said let´s see what you can do



Fire up your engines, come on let´s go

This is where the rubber meets the road

It´s time to put in motion everything you know

This is where the rubber meets the road, meets the road

The rubber meets the road



Well, I drove about an hour and finally made it around the block

I was in all of my glory, Dad was in a state of shock

But it didn´t take long for me to understand

That the road´s a different place when the wheel is in your hand

You can dream and scheme and talk about it, read it in a book

Look where you want to go, but are you going where you´ve looked?

(CHORUS)

I´ve got a Bible on the table, I´ve got 5 more on my shelf

I´ve got a head half full of knowledge far from what I´d call a wealth

But I know what I do know, better yet I know who knows me

And He´s given us directions and He´s throwing us the keys, saying
